Whether you prefer a strong rum infused espresso shot or a creamy coquito latte, there's no denying that coffee is a beloved beverage that fuels our daily activities.
If you're a coffee lover, you know that there's more to coffee than just a quick caffeine boost. It's a complex drink with a rich history, and it offers a variety of flavors based on the beans, roasting process, and brewing method. In this blog post, we'll explore how to make the perfect coffee at home and take a deeper dive into the rich culture of coffee.
Brewing Methods:
There are many ways to brew coffee, each with its unique strengths and flavor profiles. Here are a few of the most popular brewing methods to consider:
French Press
The French press is a classic and straightforward brewing method that involves steeping coffee grounds in hot water and plunging the filter down to separate the grounds from the liquid. The result is a robust and full-bodied coffee with a slight sediment at the bottom. It's perfect for those who prefer a more robust flavor.
Pour Over
Pour over is one of 787 coffee’s favorite methods of brewing coffee! It involves pouring hot water over a bed of coffee grounds placed in a filter. The water slowly drips through the grounds, extracting the flavor and aroma of the coffee. This method produces a clean and bright cup of coffee, highlighting the unique characteristics of each coffee bean.

Espresso
Espresso refers to concentrated coffee prepared by forcing hot water under high pressure through finely ground coffee. Espresso machines are usually used to make espresso. A shot of espresso is a small, concentrated amount of coffee that is rich in flavor and has a creamy layer on top known as crema. Espresso is used to make a variety of popular coffee drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos. Our caffeinated love our double shot espresso ( all of our drinks at 787 Coffee have a double shot of espresso making it stronger and bold.
Finding Your Perfect Cup
When it comes to coffee, personal taste is everything. Some people love dark roast coffee, and some prefer light roast. Others like a lot of cream and sugar added, and others prefer it black. It's essential to take the time to explore different brewing methods, roasting styles, and coffee beans to find your perfect cup.
Roasting style is one factor that can impact the flavor of your coffee. Coffee roasts range from light to dark, with different notes and aromas for each roast. Light roasted coffee usually has a brighter, fruitier flavor profile, while dark roasted coffee has a deeper, smokier flavor. Our coffee is roasted in the same place where it was grown, our coffee farm in Maricao, Puerto Rico, and it is roasted by Wanda, she roasts the coffee you drink at 787 Coffee.
Coffee beans' origin also has a significant impact on the coffee's flavor. Coffee is grown in regions worldwide, each with its unique characteristics. Consider trying different types of coffee beans from different regions to find your favorite, but make sure you try 100% Puerto Rican coffee, we have limited amounts and this is why we dont sell at retail stores. Find it only at our online store or at our coffee shops in New York City, Bronx, Harlem and Puerto Rico.
